of thanks to the Secretary of State for the Colon- ies as chairman, Sir R.L. Borden paid a touching tribute to the late Brigadier Walter Long, who had fallen in the country's service. He and other speakers expressed gratification at the presence at the Conference of the son of the statesman who had done so much to promote the idea of Imperial anity, the late Mr. Joseph Chamberlain,

The resolutions recommend the appointment as early as possible of an expert committee representing the United Kingdom, the Dominions, and the Indian Military Authori ties to consider the various, patterns of military stores and equipment which are being used with a view to selecting standard patterns for general adoption as far as the special circumstances of each country will permit.
